Nike Dunk

The Dunk was originally introduced in the year 1985. It came in numerous colors in low-top and hi-top versions. It was mostly worn by basketball teams in universities and colleges across the country. Nike used the Dunk to spearhead the College Colors program, where they matched the shoe color to that of the teams uniforms.

With the outer sole having a lower profile, the Dunk stays close to the ground and is much lighter than other models. This has made the Dunk quite popular among skateboarders as well.
